Tom Lehrer - We Will All Go Together When We Go

When you attend a funeral

It is sad to think that sooner-a-l-

Ater those you love will do the same for you.

And you may have thought it tragic

Not to mention other adjec-

Tives to think of all the weeping they will do.

But don't you worry.

No more ashes, no more sackcloth,

And an armband made of black cloth

Shall never more adorn a sleeve.

For if the bomb that drops on you,

Gets your friends and neighbors too,

There'll be nobody left behind to grieve.

And we will all go together when we go.

What a comforting fact that is to know.

Universal bereavement:

An inspiring achievement.

Yes, we all will go together when we go.

We will all go together when we go,

All suffused with an incandescent glow.

No one will have the endurance

To collect on their insurance.

Lloyd's of London will be loaded when they go.

Oh we will all fry together when we fry.

We'll be French fried potatoes by and by.

There will be no more misery

When the world is our rotisserie,

Yes we all will fry together when we fry.

Down by the old maelstrom,

There'll be a storm before the calm.

And we will all bake together when we bake.

There'll be nobody present at the wake.

With complete participation

In that grand incineration,

[Over six] billion hunks of well-done steak.

Oh we will all char together when we char,

And let there be no moaning of the bar.

Just sing out a Te Deum

When you see that I.C.B.M.,

And the party will become as you are.

Oh we will all burn together when we burn.

There'll be no need to stand and wait your turn.

When it's time for the fallout,

And St. Peter calls us all out,

We'll just drop our agendas and adjourn.

You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas.

Go directly, do not pass Go, do not collect Two hundred dollahs.

And we will all go together when we go:

Every hottentot and every Eskimo.

When the air becomes uranious,

We will all go simultaneous.

Yes we all will go together,

When we all go together,

Yes we all will go together when we go.
